Flashback: Ravi Batra’s Memorable Appearance On Capital Tonight

Loyal Capital Tonight viewers might remember the appearance of new JCOPE member Ravi Batra on the show back in 2006, when he appeared on the show as legal council to troubled Democratic Senator Ada Smith. Smith was accused of throwing coffee on a staffer, Jennifer Jackson, and was charged with assault. That charge was eventually dismissed.

During the interview with former Capital Tonight host Brian Taffe, Smith denied the charges, and after that Batra monopolized much of the rest of the interview, attacking the victim as someone who was fired justly and was just seeking retribution.
